Getting to Know County Staff

 

The first few months as County Commissioner were a whirlwind of learning, from introductory meetings to formal sessions in the Chambers, all while gaining a deeper understanding of county operations. I was greeted with the warmest welcome from our dedicated county staff, whose professionalism, expertise, and commitment to excellence are truly admirable.

For someone new to local government, this transition was remarkably smooth, thanks to the incredible individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes with passion and dedication. I am beyond grateful for the guidance, patience, and support I have received since day 1! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way, and I look forward to working together to serve our community!

St. Lucie Drafthouse’s 30th Anniversary

 

Local business spotlight

For three decades, this beloved restaurant has brought our community together—whether it’s cheering for your favorite football team, sharing a meal with loved ones, or raising money for honorable causes. It’s more than a restaurant; it’s a home for many. Cheers to this local business that has been a part of many locals’ memories!

The force behind the Commissioner .... her Executive Aide

 

I'm excited to introduce my new Executive Aide, Carly Ceglio, a recent graduate from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. Carly is enthusiastic about helping serve the community and supporting the work of the Commissioner’s office. With her strong communication skills and dedication, she will be an invaluable asset to our team.

Treasure Coast International Airport Tour

Touring Treasure Coast International Airport as it undergoes exciting renovations! Soon, this airport will offer commercial flights, bringing new travel opportunities to the region. It was inspiring to see the progress firsthand and learn about the impact this expansion will have on the community.

 

 

Guest speaker at Citizens Academy

 

I had the privilege of joining staff members from the Libraries, Area Regional Transit, Community Services, and Public Utilities Departments to speak at the Citizens’ Academy held at the Paula Lewis Branch Library. It was an exciting opportunity to engage with community members and share insights about the services that these departments provide to enhance our county.

Night to Shine

This was my second year attending Treasure Coast Night to Shine, and once again, I wouldn’t miss it for the world! It’s always a heartwarming experience for me to reconnect with former clients and colleagues, but this year held an extra special significance. I had the privilege of sharing the event with my daughter and Executive Aide. My deep love for our Special Needs community is unwavering, and I am eager to use my experience to help this population thrive and excel in our society!!
